Another view on this thread is that transformation itself is codified, no longer an instance of true possession, or since the time of this threads posting theres been a regime change. Was hinted at with young thug becoming standard psyche trap but identities are solidifying. There's something subterranean and unacknowledged about the djinn, possession, but since 2019 shapeshifting itself is an identity. Amorphism flaunted and sold as The Point. Though the artists Im thinking of (Brockhampton, 100 gecs, jpegmafia, the mainstreaming of hyperpop) are for a predominately white middle class crowd so this kind of retentive control of possession a few years after the fact is the expected dialectical turn. But even in the strictly hip hop sphere there's either a return to solidified masculinity (detroit and Memphis revival, american acceptance of drill) or the same self consciousness flaunting with things like this
